Asked Pro IMSA driver Sam Paley to take out the 21 Car at Road Atlants yesterday for a reference laps and to get his opinion on how the car was setup and balanced. He ran in Chin Track Days Happy Hour so a bit of traffic. But he bested my all time PB of 1:35.89 easily (of course) and a 1:38.15 was my best of the day. His predictive time was an astounding 1:28.82, which is pretty darn quick considering his 2nd place qualifying time at the 2024 Petit LeMans was a 1:26.489. Had a big smile watching him cut though the group for 5 laps. Sorry for sketchy video, SD card was almost full.
